Eternal Adventurer (WN): Chapter 286

 

Passage of Time 1



"Please wait in this room for a moment."


The unknown priest who responded


The place I was guided to was a majestic room.


"This is amazing, what is this room for?"


"Yes, this is the room that Lute-sama will use if you wake up!"


It was a room made just for me.


And the priest was a little strange.


When I looked at his hands, they were sweating profusely.


And he's shaking slightly.


Is he nervous?


"Well, relax a little bit. You should sit down, too."


Saying that, I prepared a chair next to the priest for the priest.


"I'm afraid to do so!"


Why?


"It's easier if you sit down. For my sake, please."


"Yes! Now, if you'll excuse me!"


The priest is very stiff.


If I look closely, he's quite young.


"How old are you?"


"Yes! I'll be 18 this year!"


"Uwa! You're so young. At that young age, you're an intermediate priest or an elite!"


The priest in front of me has a gold thread sewn into the collar of his vestments.


It is a sign of intermediate rank among the Imperial Priests.


"Yes! I haven't forgotten my daily practice to express my gratitude for the peace of the Empire that Lute-sama has created!"


"I see... By the way, why does everyone call me Lute?"


I'm Shiro, right?


"Ha! His Majesty the Emperor established this 25 years ago!"


"Miriu? ……Hmm?"


I just heard something I can't miss.


"25 years ago?"


"Yes!"


"…How many years is the Empire now?"


"Currently, it has been 126 years since the imperial era!"


"…………You're kidding, right?"






-126 years of imperial reign, spring-


Tell me it's a lie!


I predicted it would be 10 or 20 years at the latest, but I guess I was asleep for 84 years!


That's why I can't move my body well!


"Are you okay?"


"No, I was just a little taken aback. It's no problem."


When I hang my head in front of the priest, the door to the room opens.


"Ah…"


The person in front of me was Yukikaze.


Nothing had changed in her appearance.


"Priest Delna. Thank you for your hard work, you can go back."


"Y-yes!"


After saying that, the priest quickly walked outside.


"Yukikaze..."


"You're late…"


"Sorry…"


I am truly sorry.


But if you'll allow me to make an excuse, I guess it can't be helped.


"And I’m sorry."


"Sorry for what?"


"It's Wince..."


"Ah, Wince is fine."


"Ha?"


I already know what to do


"She's not fully awake, right? Is there wrong with her body?"


"Eh, ah, yeah. Her body is fully restored, but not her senses."


"What about life activities?"


"There's no breathing, there's no pulse. But there's no decomposition. It's as if time has stopped."


"That's good."


"Ehh...?"


That's not what I need to know right now.


"Tell me what happened while I was sleeping."




-----------




Two years after my body was transplanted to Wince.


In other words, 44 years of imperial reign


The sea suddenly became calm


There were waves, but nothing that would destroy a ship.


Within a few years, large amounts of seafood began to flood the ocean.



-48 years of imperial reign-


Giran took his last breath.


"How did it end?"


"Even though he said he was worried about the future of the Empire, he died saying that Shiro would wake up one day and he would be safe."


"I see…"


Same year


Shisu is also said to have died.


I am a failure as a father until the end.


-55 years of imperial reign-


The Holy Kingdom has invaded Geldarinne again.


However, it was said that it was easily repelled.


"The soldiers were prepared for this."


"How was it?"


"Every last one of them was a demon."


The Holy Kingdom was destroyed. 8,000 dead.


The coalition between the Empire and the Kingdom lost 18 men.


And 18 of those deaths were due to food poisoning.


"Another factor was that the Holy Kingdom’s military strength was poor."


"Poor?"


"Their equipments were worse than the first invasion."


"That's odd, isn't it?"


"That's why we sent a spy to the Holy Kingdom."


As a result, they found out about the terrible situation of the Holy Kingdom.


First, the Hero Yuta marries the princess.


It is said to be due to the achievement of curing the king's incurable disease.


Then, a year later.


"The princess who became the queen was executed!?"


"Yes, the charge was fornication."


In other words, adultery.


"What's going on in the Holy Kingdom?"


"I know that part."


A black-haired woman enters the room.


"Sedona!"


"Father, it’s been a while."


Metals were attached to her limbs.


"I'm sorry for looking like this."


"Not yet healed?"


"Yeah, I still can't move well without the braces."


But they say she's getting better.


If the doctors' predictions are correct, she will be completely healed in about 20 years.


"So what do you know?"


"He's not very good at it."


"What?"


"S*x."


Hoh…


Come to think of it, Sedona was raped.


......That's unforgivable, isn't it?


"To put it bluntly, he's a bastard with a small thing."


You're really putting it bluntly, my daughter.


"At first I had my doubts, too. But when I compared it with the information obtained by the spies, it became very convincing."


Yukikaze confirms Sedona's statement.


A few years after the execution of the princess, rumors began to circulate.


Hero Yuta is said to be a man with only a pinky finger sized thing.


In other words, does that mean he was cheated on because his nightlife was so bad?


"Uwaa, that's terrible..."


"What's even worse is that he got angry over the rumors and started executing them one after another."


Anyway, if anyone tipped him off, they'd be executed immediately.


That alone is said to have left the country in turmoil.


"But he has a lot of bad luck, or rather he has strange luck…"


It is said that he began marching to other continents and islands to deflect the anger directed at him.


"I see, the sea has become calm..."


"Compared to the first invasion, the ships were much weaker. It was more numbers than quality."


Unfortunately for the Holy Kingdom, such a low-quality ship could not withstand the Empire's attacks.


It was also fortunate for the Holy Kingdom that there was no other country that could resist it other than the Empire and Geldarinne.


"We sent spies to that area as well, but the reason was that they were busy trying to stabilize their own countries and lacked national strength."


"So, did things go well for the Holy Kingdom?"


"Do you think it went well?"


Of course not.


It's like running at full speed while coughing up blood, spending all your time fighting a war even though your country is exhausted.


They can't stop because if they do, they'll die.


But if they don't stop it soon, they'll die.


There is nothing they can do about it.


"They kept occupying and looting."


"What about their territory?"


"Completely left alone"


Is it a locust-type attack?


"By the way, it’s currently in progress."


"They've been doing this for 70 years!"


Are they an idiot? They must be an idiot!


"They're so obsessed with immortality these days that they've been experimenting on human bodies repeatedly. Oh, and the ruler is still hero Yuta."


"He's still alive."


"He hasn't been replaced because he hasn't had any children."


That's right, he's a synthetic dragon, too.


"I can't speak for others, but he's a very dirty man."


"He's different from Father, right?"


Really?


I am also aware that I am quite a dirty person.


"By the way, they invaded Geldarinne three years ago. This is the sixth time."
